AIMES

Commercial line of video processing products

AIMES products work individually or together to receive, process, and archive motion imagery data

AIMES is a product of years of experience combining advanced analytic functions with an intuitive graphical user interface designed to support motion imagery processing, exploitation, and dissemination. As a suite, AIMES is capable of streamlining motion imagery analysis by managing content across multiple, independent data stores and leveraging metadata richness and mission synchronization.

Success built on years of experience

As an industry leader and program of record for the United States Air Force Distributed Common Ground System (AF-DCGS) and United States Army Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS-A), we have years of experience in information exploitation and knowledge management solutions. This knowledge, in conjunction with user requirements, led to the development of the AIMES product line.

Applications

AIMES is the result of internal research and development efforts to improve upon our previous motion imagery solution, the Video Processing Capability product line. As technology advances, the importance of motion imagery management and analysis has continued to rise. Industries that can benefit from the AIMES product suite range from federal to state and local governments to a wide-variety of commercial and international markets.

Features

Full Motion Video Ingestion and Management: The AIMES Server component is a content management system for full motion video, exploited products and related metadata. It allows users to search for and publish content across multiple, independent data stores. AIMES Server uses OGC-compliant geospatial queries and web services to allow its data to be accessed by standards-based clients.

Enhanced Exploitation and Analysis: The AIMES Exploit exploitation client software interfaces with the AIMES Server database to leverage metadata richness and other data artifacts to bring mission synchronization and geospatial empowerment to data analysis and exploitation. It includes viewing of live video feeds, streamlined workflow, advanced search, geospatial visualization and search, and the ability to view and exploit wide-area motion imagery. AIMES Exploit offers an intuitive user interface with dockable windows to provide an enhanced visual environment for video exploitation and reporting.

Streamlined Generation of Intelligence Products: The AIMES Reporter component augments AIMES Exploit to enable rapid generation of intelligence products. Using an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, AIMES Reporter can create, edit, and share full motion video derived products in HTML, Microsoft® Word and PowerPoint® formats. AIMES Reporter can also be used to generate video products with the ability to edit video clips and insert JPEG snapshots.

Products

Additional products can be purchased as plug-ins to the AIMES product line. The Add-Ons provide additional functionality that supplement vital elements such as training, testing, mission support, and video sharing across large enterprise structures. These items include:

AIMES Restream: Supplements the AIMES product suite by restreaming multiple sequential files like those saved in storage at varying frame rates. AIMES Restream software simulates live feeds by multi-casting or uni-casting motion imagery files that have been previously saved to storage.

AIMES Reflector: The plug in supports the distribution of motion imagery and other data steams across a network. AIMES Reflector software is used to read and redirect data (including streaming video) from one User Diagram Protocol (UDP) or Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) address to another UDP or TCP address. It can send streams to individual workstations and can change from multi-casting to uni-casting or vice versa. It is only available for Microsoft Windows operating systems.

AIMES MapView: Provides an intuitive, simple and low-cost interface that allows analysts to track, manage and record video feeds during or after missions.

PICTE manages standard and high definition full motion video (FMV) sensor chaos and is an essential backbone to managing multiple types of feed inputs in the FMV world. It is designed in close alignment with the standards and profiles established by the Motion Imagery Standards Board (MISB). PICTE provides real-time Motion Imagery Standards Profile (MISP) streaming of FMV streams, supporting MISB standards 0102.11 and 0601.11.

PICTE software runs on Microsoft® Windows® and Linux® servers and provides image capture of standard and high definition video feeds and conversion to MISB-compliant formats for broadcast and archiving.

Applications

The image capture element receives real-time FMV video and metadata, performs any necessary metadata transformations, and multiplexes the video and metadata into a synchronized, standards-compliant output stream. The streaming output from PICTE can be viewed in real-time using AIMES Exploit or AIMES Viewer software while simultaneously being archived to the motion imagery library of AIMES Server.

PICTE can also be used with other third-party MISB standards-compliant motion imagery exploitation solutions.

Customers

PICTE is a program of record for the United States Air Force Distributed Common Ground System and United States Army Distributed Common Ground System.

PICTE is also the FMV solution of choice for many United States Intelligence Agencies and international NATO partners.
